Hi rpnoble419, Thanks for you sample program. But I still having trouble of getting the values "field". I used TMPL_LOOP NAME to display a list of filenames & checkboxes next to it. This is all done with template & print $template->output. I defined the checkbox inside a form, also a "submit" button.

both of print give me Zero values, it does not seem like the subroutine is able to fetch the input field from my table html page. I am not sure why. I have the concept, but somehow when applying to coding, it's different story.
